the Palestinian population has been radicalized for some time now by their education system and their media

Wow, that's messed up. I honestly can't fathom how living with that would impact me long term.

As for the questions, I found this quite interesting:

34% support and 64% oppose the idea of a two-state solution, which was presented to the public without providing details of the solution. Three months ago, support for this solution in a similar question stood at 32%

...

43% believe that the first most vital Palestinian goal should be to end Israeli occupation in the areas occupied in 1967 and build a Palestinian state in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip with East Jerusalem as its capital

That ~9% gap between "two state solution" and essentially a description of the two state solution seems too large for a polling gap.

My take is that while they may be radicalized, it sounds like the public could be reasoned with. I would expect that an actual offer by Israel (unlikely) could improve those polling numbers quite a bit. That said, they seem to want Barghouti, which isn't going to work for Israel.

Thanks for the nudge to dig deeper, I have some research to do to better understand the conflict.
